Netizens revealed that the charging pile in the service area is 2.98 yuan/kWh: it is more expensive than refueling

Fast Technology reported on January 31 that a few days ago, some netizens broke the news that the special call charging pile in the Dayu service area of Kangda Expressway in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, has a charging fee of 2.98 yuan/kWh, which is more expensive than refueling oil trucks.

This matter also caused heated discussions among netizens: "Normal electric vehicles are driving at high speeds, and the power consumption is generally more than 18kWh/100km, according to this simple calculation, without considering the loss during charging, the cost of 100 kilometers is 18x2.98=53.6 yuan." ”

Compared with some fuel-efficient fuel vehicles, the cost of this high-speed charging is indeed more expensive than refueling.

Previously, because of the high cost of charging, netizens complained, and Ganzhou Jiaotou Special Call also responded to this: the price is higher during the holidays, in order to ensure the smooth charging of high-speed holidays and avoid charging congestion.

However, some netizens said they could not agree with the statement of the charging pile company.

High-speed charging pile belongs to infrastructure construction, when it was originally built in the high-speed service area, there was an entry threshold, and the price of providing services also had clear restrictions, and the price could not be raised or changed at will, and the cost of 2.98 yuan/kWh was significantly higher than the normal level, so it was considered that the charging pile charge was unreasonable.

What do you think about this?
